UC HONORS STUDENT
Friends, family, peers remember Andrew Howell Jasmine evans | staff reporter Students, faculty and family gathered Wednesday evening at the University of Cincinnati’s CollegeConservatory of Music to remember the death of a student. A candlelight vigil was hosted in CCM’s Alumni Gardens to honor Andrew Howell, a UC student who fell from the roof of a building in Clifton. Howell, 20, a third-year horn performance student, grew up in Charlotte, N.C., and came from a musical background. His death Oct. 22 came as more than just a shock to those who knew him. “Andrew was really modest and probably one of the most talented people I’ve ever met,” said Stephanie Hollander, one of Howell’s classmates, during her speech. “Everyone looked forward to rehearsing with him because he was such a light.” Frank Weinstock, CCM interim dean, also spoke at the vigil. “We are family, friends and musicians,” Weinstock said. “We need families always, but especially at times like this. Andrew’s death was more
than a shock to me because it didn’t really seep in until I started talking with other people.” Randy Gardner, a horn studio professor, also offered a few words about Howell’s impact. “He was a truly wonderful gift to us all and a joy to teach,” Gardner said. “He would always come in enthusiastic and uplifting, which was
definitely contagious. I give thanks that he was able to be a part of my life.” Horn performance students played a piece in Howell’s memory before students, faculty and family members gathered in the Baur Room, where a slideshow presentation was shown as a final sendoff to all who knew Howell.
HOUR OF MOURNING The remembrance was filled with good memories and grieving tears. Attendees recalled Andrew Howell’s bright personality and uplifting spirit.

Andrew Lynch was known by friends as always having a story to tell or something to do. He loved music and was loyal to friends.
Andrew Lynch, a third-year electronic media student, died unexpectedly Oct. 25. He was 20 years old. While his fellow students and professors might have known him as a quiet classmate, Lynch’s multitude of friends will remember him as anything but. “He was someone that you were excited to see, because you knew that he would have something fun to do or have a story to tell,” said Nick Moeggenberg, a friend and a fourth-year marketing student at UC. Other friends remembered the good times with Lynch. “We always wanted to have fun,”said Chris Anderson, another friend. “We didn’t know what we were going to do, we never planned anything, didn’t think about the consequences — and we always had a good time.” Those who knew Lynch will remember him for his infectious smile, his love for music, his intelligence and his undying loyalty to his friends. “He was just my favorite person in the
world,” said Alexandra Hoosier, Lynch’s girlfriend. “If he had to lose everything, he would do it for you.” While at Loveland High School, Lynch played guitar and bass for several bands, including To Die In Arms and The Kicking Twenties. “He was an incredible guitarist who wrote amazing songs,” said Blake Hawk, Andrew’s former band mate and a third-year electronic media student. After earning his degree, Lynch dreamed of owning his own recording studio. “He was super outgoing, and always good at everything he did, whether it was music, skateboarding or even video games,” Anderson said. Lynch left a good impression, friends said. “All of the stories about him and times spent with him will make us always remember what a great guy he really was,” Moeggenberg said. Lynch is survived by his parents, Joe and Heather Lynch, and his siblings, Angela and Joseph.

A renowned sculpture at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning was reported missing last week. The sculpture, “Ethan,” was perched in the Grand Stairwell at DAAP since 2005, after former DAAP student Alan Marrero installed it. The sculpture is also a part of the university’s Fine Arts Collection. Marrero styled the sculpture — depicting a student wearing a hooded sweatshirt while working on his laptop — after his likeness and it has been a fixture since. In an e-mail to DAAP students and faculty, Anton Harfmann, DAAP associate dean, said the sculpture was taken sometime Thursday or Friday. “We are in the process of reviewing security tapes and gathering evidence, Harfmann wrote. If “Ethan” was stolen, fifthyear fashion design student Molly McMahon cannot see why. “It’s a selfish act of vandalism,” McMahon said. “To take something so iconic to DAAP and keep it for yourself.” Harfman wrote that removing sculpture would be considered vandalism and, at maximum, larceny. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact DAAP.

SPORTS Streak survives another season

BIG EAST’S BEST Senior outside hitter Stephanie Niemer leads the Big East with 474 kills — 5.33 per set.
For the third consecutive season, the No. 21 University of Cincinnati volleyball team kept the school’s longest winning streak alive — a streak started in 2007 by the Bearcats’ four seniors. In the team’s 2010 home finale, Cincinnati swept the Villanova Wildcats in three sets, extending the team’s home winning streak to 39 games Sunday at Fifth Third Arena. The streak is the second longest in the nation behind Penn State’s 85 consecutive home wins. “It’s a tribute to the seniors,” said UC head coach Reed Sunahara. “They’ve done a nice job for us and since their first year, they put their minds to doing well. My hat’s off to them because they are
the foundation of this program.” On senior day, the Lady Bearcats dominated a flustered Wildcat squad. Cincinnati averaged a .432 hitting percentage for the match, while dishing out six blocks and holding Villanova to a .168 hitting percentage en route to 25-12, 25-16 and 25-16 set victories. “I thought we played pretty well,” Sunahara said. “I thought our level of execution was pretty high and I think the first set the tone for the match.” The Bearcats started off the match in a commanding fashion. The teams traded points early in the first set, but, tied at four, Cincinnati went on a 17-1 run to give them an unsurpassable 15-point lead.
After being eclipsed in the first set, the Wildcats came out in the second regrouped and focused, garnering an early lead. Down 8-10, the Lady Cats rallied back, going on an 8-1 run to retake the lead and win the set. After the intermission, the Bearcats started off the final set going on an early 6-1 lead, and despite a late Villanova rally, the Bearcats finished what they started, putting the Wildcats to rest to take the match in the third set. The Bearcats’ three senior starters led the team — ensuring the streak they started was passed on to future teams. Senior outside hitter Stephanie Niemer posted a double-double with 18 kills and 16 digs, while senior middle blocker Lindsay
Upton contributed defensively with 15 digs. Team captain and senior setter Annie Fesl recorded 43 assists and seven digs. Cincinnati finishes its regular season on the road with four Big East matches before the conference tournament. Sunahara admitted the schedule would be challenging, but nothing his team can’t handle. “It’s going to be harder, but we still have to take care of business,” Sunahara said. “They understand that and I told them at the start of the season, ‘All great teams win on the road,’ so we’ll see what happens.” The Bearcats return to play Saturday at 2 p.m. against West Virginia in Morgantown, W. Va.

COLLAROS-LESS UC FALLS SHORT VS SYRACUSE 31-7 Sam Elliott | Sports EDITOR Cincinnati limited Syracuse to 262 total yards, sacked quarterback Ryan Nassib four times and forced two turnovers, but the Orange left Nippert Stadium Saturday with a 31-7 victory — Cincinnati’s worst home loss since 2005. “I take full responsibility. This is my football program,” said head coach Butch Jones. “We’ll get it the right way, but it’s all about recruiting, it’s about developing our players — case closed. I’m the leader of this football program, I’m coming to work tomorrow and nothing’s changed with our demeanor.” Backup quarterback Chazz Anderson started for UC in place of Zach Collaros, who was sidelined with a bruised left knee. “He was making great progress,” Jones said. “We really pushed him Thursday to create some game-like situations for him, and the knee didn’t respond the way we wanted it to.” Anderson completed 18 of 33 passes for 148 yards, one touchdown and one interception — a costly turnover capping
Cincinnati’s first possession of the second half. The Bearcats trailed 17-7 after halftime and began the third quarter on their own 32-yard line. Cincinnati marched 62 yards in 14 plays, threatening to cut deeper into the Syracuse lead, but Derrell Smith intercepted Anderson inside the 5-yard line. “We start the second half, we drive the length of the field, we’re on the 8-yard line — you’ve got to finish drives,” Jones said. “Instead, they pick it off, they go down the field and they score.You can’t do that.” Smith returned the interception 60 yards and the Orange built a 24-7 lead four plays
later with Nassib’s second touchdown pass. “You’ve got to make smart decisions in the red zone,” Anderson said. “We ran the play all week and it worked well. I just forced the ball instead of waiting on the [route] to come open. You can’t turn over the ball in the red zone.” The Bearcats defense recovered its first fumble since Sept. 25 with 5:20 to play in the first quarter, but a Cincinnati three-and-out was followed by a 14-play, 80-yard touchdown drive by the Orange. Nassib’s three-yard touchdown pass to Van Chew gave Syracuse a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter. Isaiah Pead fumbled on Cincinnati’s ensuing possession and the Orange claimed a two-touchdown lead less than three minutes later when center Ryan Bartholomew fell on Adam Harris’ fumble in the end zone. “Until we start protecting the football, we’re not going to win very many games,”Jones said.

Cronin, Bearcats make preseason debut Kayla Kreyenhagen | Staff reporter The University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team will begin its 2010-11 preseason challenging itself against a team not only from outside the conference, but outside the country. Carleton University — the six-time Canadian national champions — will face the Bearcats at Fifth Third Arena Monday. “Carleton is a very good team and they are extremely well-coached,” said Cincinnati head coach Mick Cronin. “Obviously we have them outmanned by a size and athleticism standpoint, but they will pose some problems for us and we will get a lot out of Monday.” The teams last met Sept. 4, when the Bearcats traveled to Ottawa for an exhibition game, which they won 87-70. “It will be a little different playing over here,” said Bearcats junior forward Yancy Gates. “In Canada, they have some different rules, so this time they have to adjust to how we play.” For the Bearcats’ upcoming season, they hope to bring new quality and quickness on both the offensive and defensive ends of the court — traits the team hopes to showcase against Carleton. “I do think we will be better as a group,” Gates said. “With our guards, they are quicker and are a lot more athletic than they were in the past. We will be picking up more full-court defense and just a change in pace of the game.” Despite a 17-point victory in their last meeting, Carleton will not be a walk in the park for the Bearcats. The Ravens come to Cincinnati experienced, having played seven games this season. Cronin said every Ravens player and coach is coming to town with revenge on their minds and that Carelton won’t step down from a tough challenge. Despite the build-up for the game, Cronin
and the rest of the Bearcats understand it’s a preason game. Cronin said the team’s health is most important and is happy with the opportunity for the team to play another squad before the regular season starts. “You really don’t worry too much about the first preseason game,” Cronin said. “You’re just worried about your first game. Really for us, its just a chance for us to play somebody besides ourselves — another coach that is going to try to schematically stop you.” The Bearcats and Ravens tip-off at 7 p.m. Monday at Fifth Third Arena.

ON THE RUN Syracuse senior running back Delone Carter (3) ran the ball 19 times for 109 yards Saturday — matching Cincinnati’s total rushing ouput, led by Chazz Anderson’s 66 yards. “It is what it is. We’ve got to have a passion to protect the football. They did a good job of capitalizing on our mistakes and then when we got an opportunity to switch momentum, we didn’t take advantage of that.” The Bearcats failed to gain a first down after each of their takeaways Saturday, while the Orange scored 17 points following three UC turnovers. Cincinnati will take its second bye week of the season before the final third of the regular season, beginning Nov. 13 at West Virginia. “We’ve just got to keep our heads on straight and continue to work with a winning attitude,” said running back John Goebel. “Right now, we’ve just got to keep our faith in ourselves and our coaching staff and our players. We are a good team. We’ve got to remember that.”

Bearcats crush Orange
Clinch bye in Big East tournament Hunter Tickel | Senior Reporter In its regular season finale Saturday, the Cincinnati men’s soccer team won a 4-0 decision against the Syracuse Orange at Gettler Stadium. The win clinched a first-round bye in the Big East Championships for UC, setting up a home game at 7 p.m. Saturday in the tournament’s quarterfinals. “I’m so proud of our guys. It’s been a long season,” said head coach Hylton Dayes. “We put ourselves in a position where a result tonight would put us in a position to get a [No.2] seed.” Six players were honored before the game for Senior Night, all of which had a hand in the team’s performance. “We sent [the seniors] out the right way,” Dayes said. “It’s awesome to see them all contribute. This is what these guys dream about when they go into their senior season.” In the third minute, Matt Bahner beat his defender near the sideline and crossed a pass to the far post for Mark Konitsch to nod in. The Bahnerto-Konitsch connection produced the Bearcats’ second consecutive goal after the pair connected for the team’s lone score Wednesday at DePaul. UC added to its lead in the 30th minute when Konitsch provided precise service on a corner kick, finding the
SPORTS.NEWSRECORD@GMAIL.COM | 513.556.5909
head of Michael Millay in front of the net. The ensuing 2-0 lead allowed the Bearcats to dictate the pace for the remainder of the match. “I thought the guys showed up to play,” Dayes said. “They scored two in the first half, which was really important to stress. They are a team that will lock you down if they score the first goal.” Three minutes into the second half, Bahner scored his team-leading seventh goal of the season, finding the far post side netting from a tight angle on the right side of the box. The night ended on a high note in the 72nd minute, when Tristan Watson found the far corner of the goal from the top of the box. Cincinnati’s offense produced two first-half goals for the first time this year and a season-high four goals. After failing to qualify for the league tournament a season ago, the Bearcats (7-4-6, 5-1-3 Big East) owe experience and improved defensive play for the team’s improvement. “I think it’s the maturing of the team,” Dayes said. “Bahner has blossomed into a good goal scorer, [goalkeeper] Matt Williams is having a great year and we shored up our center back spots with [Alex] Hadley and Roger Thompson.”
